REPUTATIONHe isn't particularly well known, his voice and stage name might be known online from the musically inclined, as someone who sings R&B songs and does guest vocals on other upcoming artists tracks. But it's completely fringe and since he's never even shown his face online, it's likely nobody really knows who he is. But garnered some rumors from his college that he was someone that you'd be damned to ever cross. With many tall tales that sounded pretty far fetched but it didn't stop others from taking them seriously. But it barely interfered with his regular activities beside keeping him away from making potential friends, even after the accident.
HEIGHT6 feet 4 inches
WEIGHT170 pounds
APPEARANCEDrastically changing from an athletic but still average human appearance, to a hulking and ascetically threatening blue scorpion beast at his free will. His appearance can be as deceiving as his personality. His true scorpion form is often completely naked and lacking in clothing of any kind.
His human form will often wear very similar and clean casual looking attire, that's boring and doesn't stand out from the crowd. The typical stuff you'd expect someone at a private school to wear. Sometimes wearing reading glasses just for the sake of it, despite not needing them. His appearance is often messy and randomized from not looking at a mirror while changing, likely having two different socks and shoes and would likely be a fashion disaster, if everything wasn't already the nearly the same. Stuff he usually wore even before the incident.
POSITIVE TRAITS
- Temerity - Dante immediately comes across as somebody who is confident in his abilities, making him a great leader to those wishing to follow him, nearly infectious in giving others who are insecure some confidence themselves. A bravery and boldness to get stressful or daunting tasks done or say what's necessary, when others may give up or chicken out.
- Chivalrous - Dante is extremely fair and protective of the helpless which is self categorized as children and women. Will actively assist those at disadvantages and imposes those who mistreat others without reason.
- Hardworking - Dante doesn't know the meaning of half-assed. He only takes breaks because he's aware that their effective to keep him constantly efficient in the jobs and tasks he carries out. He doesn't give up when he fails and only tries harder until whatever he seeks to achieve is fulfilled.
- Intelligent - Dante has a degree in mathematics and has an I.Q in the 140's. He has an expansive vocabulary and has a vast knowledge of many subjects. Allowing him to problem solve in very calculated ways.
- Athletic - Though Dante's talent in singing is worthy to note, he also participated in track and field in his school to keep his lungs healthy. Allowing him to stay physically fit, building his stamina and reflexes and allowed him to run faster than the average person.
- Lacking empathy - Dante is completely lacking in empathy to the point of being a genuine sociopath. He doesn't care or even seem to be aware of others emotions, or why they're even important. He feels absolutely no remorse and can kill someone without flinching. Stealing and lying are completely guiltless endeavors for him.
- Hedonistic - Dante's is completely self-serving and does plenty of things for self-indulgence sake. Including drinking alcohol and doing drugs, anything to get that temporary fix. He only does good deeds to make himself feel good. He believes that being a perfect sibling requires him to care for his family and his belief of that perfection makes him go out of his way to do good deeds and hopefully showered by praise for it and rewarded though other means.
- Arrogance - Dante knows everything and is better than anyone at least in his own mind. Failure isn't an opinion. His way is the only way through life and looking down and getting off his pedestal nearly ceases his ability to function like a well oiled and incredibly flawed machine.
- Impulsive - Dante doesn't like waiting and despite being too smart for such reckless behavior to be acceptable. Reacting purely from emotions is quite a commonplace reaction from him. He will do anything to get something done quickly even if waiting and being rational is the best option.
- Dishonest - He's quite good at lying, that he has even fooled himself into believing many of the falsehoods he has repeated to himself over and over again. He doesn't accept the truth, if it isn't his own. He is a compulsive liar that lies like it's what keeps his heart beating, that even his truths are often twisted so far that their meaning is skewed. Every bit of kindness and charisma Dante portrays is from how he perceives society treat those who act this way to benefit himself. He is the embodiment of the eternal fake.
- Life's A Musical - Dante enjoys singing, often singing at least a few words of his own sentences in day to day conversations. Often the ending word(s), which always puts smiles on his younger siblings faces. He will be often humming some kind of tune and even sing lyrics depending on his mood.
- Good Deed For The Day - Dante will never go a day without at least doing some arbitrary act of kindness, seemingly random and without real regard, purpose or genuine desire. Though not even following his own system, he will occasionally do more if he feels like it.
- Knight's Code Of Ethics - Often referring to himself as a Knight, he usually follows or at least pretends to follow a certain Code Of Ethics that will change randomly from day to day. Often sighting rule numbers for things that he completely makes up on the spot. The only thing you can even be certain of is that he will usually have a fair one to one fight and if you surrender, that he won't kill you.
Deathstalker Scorpion
POWERS
- Hardened Exoskeleton - Like a walking talk, but not hindering to his own movements and reflexes. Allowing him to have great defense from the majority of his attackers, while being perfectly capable of fighting back. His entire body from head to toe, is incredibly durable and is resistant to breaking and piercing objects and even extreme heat.
- Stalker's Poisonous Blood – His tail can pierce through armor and is extremely deadly, his poison like the real Deathstalker Scorpion is some of the most deadly toxin in the world. It is very often fatal and can lead to extreme paralysis and many other dangerous effects from being infected by it, though normal curing/the healing process of this poison is not particularly painless or easy. He is also immune from his own toxin. He can also use his claws to spread and absorb/remove poison, but they're not immediately poisonous to touch. (unlike the tail.)
- Wall Crawling - His claws and tail allow him to scale up and down building walls and other solid surfaces incredibly effectively and even surprisingly quietly. This unusual advantage allows him to be stealthy and allows him to obtain higher ground easily or allow him to make an escape.
- Human Camouflage - Despite becoming a hybrid, he is somehow able to completely shift his appearance from his true form and his old human form with nearly no bizarre imperfections. Allowing him to go unnoticed by the average person. He can nearly switch freely and without limit. Merely limiting the use of his abilities.
- Untrained in combat - He is completely unskilled in any type of combat and lacks actual technique. Even with his one hit killing potential, he is awful at reading opponents movements and even paying attention to his opponents weaknesses. His brain seems to turn off in actual combat scenarios. He absolutely doesn't know when to quit when outnumbered.
- Sleep Paralysis - Every time he awakens from his sleep, his entire body is paralyzed and completely immobile for several seconds at least and possibly even minutes at a time.
- Lack Of Patience - Winning or getting the upper hand in combat requires those to behave smartly and possibly cowardly and be in for the long haul. The longer one can drag out a fight, the worse and less focused he will become in that fight.
- Crippling Human Fragility – Despite his ability to appear human again, it's absolutely not good for him in any conceivable way. Staying this way for extended periods of time, actively makes his cancer spread faster and might as well be slowly killing him. His immune system is completely terrible and he even becomes physically fragile as well. He wouldn't be able to run a mile in these shoes or even up a particular grueling set of stairs.
- Complete lack of taste buds
- Frequent Heartburn
- Headaches
- Insomnia
The serum had many strange effects to his body, barely seeming to relate to his powers. Completely destroying his taste buds, making most things taste bland. It caused him to have rather painful headaches and frequent heartburn, also effecting his ability to stay asleep and get to asleep which only made the sleep paralysis that he already had before the serum effected him, even harder to deal with. The only trouble these side effects can have on his abilities is his headaches can occasionally impede his ability to switch forms.
SURVIVAL RATEDante was currently diagnosed with stage 2 cancer and had been given a 90% percent chance rate of dying within 2-3 years. With a 40% percent chance of dying within 6-8 months.
FEARS
- Mirrors - Mostly from being afraid and deeply hating the creature he had become, even reflections of water will cause him to quickly jerk his head away, but he always had an irrational fear that looking into the mirrors themselves, could lead you to being sucked into them.
- Harm brought upon his siblings – He doesn't like the thought or the threat or the slightest possibility of his siblings being hurt, physically or mentally and takes drastic measures to avoid it.
- Religious Symbols – From churches and everything in between. He is completely hateful and fearful of these objects and will also go to great lengths to avoid them. Though not fearful of it, he still will avoid conversations about god, religion and the afterlife whenever possible.
Guaranteeing his younger siblings live a modest and happy life, the life he and his parents could never achieve.
HISTORYDante Foster's life was far better than many of his fellow classmates, despite being born as part of the lower middle class. You would have been hard pressed to find any misery in his household. Having two loving parents and five other perfectly healthy and happy younger siblings. Both parents had stable but low paying jobs, as neither of them we're cut out for higher education. Both went to school together and both dropped out to get married instead. Fortunately both made friends fast and had plenty of very generous and well off friends giving them helping hands if they ever needed them.
However, his own birth was fairly complicated and it seemed to be a miracle he survived at all. But he wasn't particularly healthy himself and being intelligent and aware of his differences growing up. He learned quickly to behave like everyone else. He still wanted to strive for more and was the first person in his family to successfully get a degree. Tragedy finally struck for the first and most damning time when on their way to the gradation ceremony, Dante lost both his parent's in an awful car accident, his parents struck a drunk truck driver going the wrong way down the road, killing the father instantly and his mother died shortly after while being rushed to the hospital.
Despite one of their friends taking them in and becoming surrogate parents, taking care of most of their financial worries, no one was particularly fond of them and emotionally the surrogate parents we're equally as distant, like the children we're just a job that you had to perform. Dante and his siblings never felt that this house would ever be their home. Dante needed to make a lot of money and fast, to allow him and his siblings to have a real home again, finding the Project Hybrid and being told by somebody that it would grant him a hefty payment. However, this ended up becoming something that completely destroyed his life and until the day he dies his motives remained mostly unchanged. The only difference is getting his revenge for just how much time was stolen from him.
